Creme Fraiche is a thickened cream with a slightly tangy, nutty flavor and velvety, rich texture. This French specialty is traditionally made with unpasteurized cream. However, this version is pasteurized and made in Vermont by Vermont Creamery. It is a rich treat that is perfect for thickening sauces and soups because it can be boiled without curdling. It is also delicious spooned over fresh fruit desserts. We especially like it served with our smoked salmon or with caviar. Just a dollop atop a piece of cocktail bread with a slice of smoked salmon lifts the experience to a whole new level. Its creamy tang is the perfect complement to a tender, smoky bite of salmon. Crème fraîche is the traditional accompaniment to caviar, and it smooths out the saltiness of the eggs.

Vermont Crème Fraîche is exquisitely luscious, with a cultured flavor and creamy texture. Enjoy this staple of French cuisine, served by many of the world's finest restaurants.

Awarded 2nd Place in the American Cheese Society 2007 Awards in the Cow's Milk Creme Fraiche category.

This added just the right touch to the Caviar and Blinis! Very fresh and tasty!

Excellent choice

This cheese has a slight sour cream taste making it wise choice for baking, serving with baked potatoes, or as I used for a dip. I mixed with Mascarpone, clams, and Hard Grana Provolone for a robust New England clam dip. The cheese far exceeds its description.

Very Good, Quick Delivery!

Very hard to get creme fraiche around here, and like with several other goodies, when I miss certain gourmet items just too much, I order from igourmet.. This is just right, great for pasta sauces etc.

Better than sour cream

I make a lot of Eastern European dishes that call for sour cream. I thought I'd try this as a substitute and I must admit, it's much better. It has a thicker consistency than sour cream so that the dishes remain thick and creamy.
